United Methodist Women Newsletter May 2008 A Big Thank You to all the UMW ladies that helped to make our Women's Spring Festival a success. I had comments (all good) on the food, the set up, the fashion show and all the vender booths. I also want to thank all the ladies of the church that supported us in the event. We were raising money to help The Journey Home. Once again, I invite all ladies of this church to consider coming to our meeting on the first Tuesday of each month or joining one of our four UMW groups. For information please call me or Jualanna Mitchell.
In Friendship,
Libby Pettigrew

Her son Luke has a rare, genetic bone marrow dysfunction syndrome called Shwachman-Diamond and Joshua has Down Syndrome. She feels blessed that they are very healthy despite their issues, and she enjoys being a full time mom to them.
